Xiao Muli's father, Xiao Guobing, received his son's engagement invitation from his secretary today in his office, sent by his own father.
When Xiao Guobing opened the invitation and saw his son's name, Xiao Muli, alongside the name of his future daughter-in-law, Situ Xin, as well as the date and location of the engagement, he was stunned. The complexity in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
How could he not feel complex? As a father, he actually received an engagement invitation from his son. He was treated exactly like any other guest.
So, Xiao Guobing sat with that invitation in his office the entire afternoon. That afternoon, he thought about many things. He thought about the things he and his wife had done, about his son Xiao Muli's life from birth to the present, and the events he had been part of.
The more he thought, the worse his mood became, and he felt full of regret. He knew that their actions as a couple had truly hurt both his father and his son.
